For the crossover, the shows are airing Fire, Med, PD.

Or how about my favourite cliche? "Cops approach subject from a distance, yell that they're Chicago P.D., at which points the suspect takes off running, leading to a chase scene."

I can never understand why they don't get close to the guy first, depriving him of a chance to flee. Happens on almost every crime show. 

Also I could never understand why the bad guy fires his gun until it runs out of ammo, then in frustration he throws the gun at the good guy and turns and runs.
Does he happen to know there is no place to buy bullets for the gun anymore?
Also in medical shows, you know a character is really in a bad way because he has a plastic tube on his nose.  But the tube is never down his nose and fed into his stomach.  It's always just clipped to the tip of his nose, but hey, it's a plastic tube!
Then there's the rescue show where an emt or life guard pulls a victim from the water, and starts pumping on their chest, saying, "C'mon, don't you die on me!!"
Within seconds the victim coughs up a moufful of water, splutters a bit and is then perfectly fine.

 

I watched last night and I thought it was very well done, the "Chicago" franchise is brilliant. I love the story lines, the characters and the roles they play. If there is a drawback some of the relationship development can be a bit melodramatic...

I what I enjoyed last night was the effects, the subway scene, the road exploding, the story lines from beginning to end and how all three shows meshed well and they intertwined so nicely...

Call me biased, as far as my appreciation for last night's epic 3 hour show, that went from Fire, to Med, to PD, seamlessly.

If you are wondering Fire and PD are 2 of my favourite shows, and I do like Chicago Med, however it would be a bit down on my go to list and I don't watch a lot of TV.

As far as the discussion about when cops shoot and miss and the bad guys get away, last night's show didn't veer to far from that story line, Trudy was shot twice point blank and managed to survive after bleeding out in an elevator and then undergoing surgery, heart heart stopped, they froze her body and revived her again after surgery. A bit much, but we love a good ending.


Dick Wolf, is a creative genius and the formula works. The set crew and effects team are pretty remarkable too.
